Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just moved back to Houston after two years in Oklahoma and then two years in Taiwan. I'm looking to occasionally host travelers, make new friends and learn about other places and my own, sort of new city.

I couch surfed my way through Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland and had the most wonderful experience. Every host was so accommodating, open minded, generous and kind. What a fundamentally generous act-to open your home to stranger in need!
